    In your Food Diary. Click on Add Food. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/TerriKate0308

    Unfortunately, the "verified" green check marks in the MFP database are used for both user-created entries and admin-created entries that MFP pulled from the USDA database. To find admin entries for whole foods, I get the syntax from the USDA database and paste that into MFP.

    For packaged foods, I verify the label against what I find in MFP. (Alas, you cannot just scan and assume what you get is correct.)
